Lynn,
For what its worth, I agree with Chick and Dotsie. If you WANT to lecture and work in the field of domestic violence, why would you consider anything else? If making money is part of the equation, then I would take the "passion" career and figure out a way to make money doing that.

This sounds easier said than done, and is something I'm doing right now, so it may not work. If it doesn't, I'll simply get a job. If it DOES, and I believe it will/is, then I'm doing what I love and making a difference in people's lives. Even if it is just making them laugh.

GO WITH YOUR PASSION. YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT!
